.DISCUSSION...
 A clear and dry day is expected today as a ridge builds in from the
west. Light SE winds this morning will slowly turn southerly over
the burn site and may be reduced partially by any northern facing
coulees/slopes. Wind will then shift to the SW and W into the afternoon.
During the evening wind will become W or variable based on
best nearby drainage through the night hours. Wednesday will be
hotter with near 100 degrees possible at lower elevations and very
low RH (near 12%). Light west winds will hold through the day but
thunderstorms (10-20% chance) may be possible in the late afternoon
and early evening hours. Collapsing storms incoming from the west
have a risk of gusty erratic winds fanning flames as they pass.
There will also be very little rain with these leaving a chance for
dry lightning in the area.
